He Has Gone Ahead Of You
You have probably heard many well-versed believers say that God is in and out of time. Many actually couldn’t explain to a lay person to grasp what that statement means but then again, it is the Holy Spirit that gives wisdom and comprehension to God’s word. Well, after racking my natural brain so hard to understand it, the Spirit of God led me to these scriptures to bring me meaning to that statement.
- Revelations 22:13 NIV, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
- Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP, “ He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end.”
It’s quite straightforward isn’t it? My message to you today is to reassure you that God has already lived out the year 2022 so reject the fear and anxiety that the adversary is thumping in your head as you are counting down the days until the clock strikes 12:00 AM on January 1, 2022. If you think I do not know what those fears are, well, I wake up to face them head on every day so yes - I’m well aware of how they quietly sneak into your thoughts. BUT, our confidence is in what God has revealed to us in His word - which is the highest level of all prophecies that will ever be proclaimed over your life. Read these scriptures out aloud every time you are tempted to worry about what’s ahead:
- Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV: “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
- Isaiah 41:10 ESV: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
- Deuteronomy 31:6 ESV: “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
- Joshua 1:5 ESV: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” AMEN!
Take your rest in God and in His word. He has gone way ahead of you and I. What you are afraid of, He has already taken it down. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Write Your Vision!
Are you counting down the days until the curtain closes on 2021 like I am? Well, we don’t have much of a choice because the days are counting themselves down with or without our permission. Most of us started off the year with some visions, goals and some even had resolutions we wanted to live by. December seems to be that month that just brings everything into focus and gives you a reality check on how you spent the last 11 months of your life.
For others, it’s the feeling of unaccomplishment - so many things you hoped, dreamed and determined to get done but didn’t happen for you. Some promises that were not fulfilled and even seriously, prophecies concerning your future and destiny that seem to be still lingering in the Heavens. A very renowned man of God who’s life, teachings, principles, doctrine and leadership has transformed my life greatly, and one who God has spiritually connected me with for mentorship, growth and empowerment in this Kingdom, Apostle Joshua Selman, today dropped one of his thousand plus nuggets of wisdom, that the prophecy of scripture is the highest and noblest of all prophecies. In other words, whatever any one sees about your destiny in the spirit, dreams or visions does not supersede what God has written in Scripture concerning your life.
I stand on that knowledge and proclaim Habakkuk 2:2-3 AMP over your life, if you are that person who is still wondering if your vision or dream or goal will happen for you. Try what I do, my vision board hangs right across from my bed and I speak over it every day and every night.
“Then the Lord answered me and said,“Write the vision And engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets So that the one who reads it will run. “For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it, Because it will certainly come; it will not delay”
I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name! AMEN!

Declarations for December 2021
Welcome to the last month of 2021. I know how that sounds - LAST.
For most people their anxiety temperature is running so high they can barely breathe.
For some, it is a month of desperation and uncertainties. If you are reading this and you are feeling that way, I will not discount your feelings but instead, let me assure you that there’s something called the ‘latter glory’ - as in what God is about to do in your last days of 2021 is bigger than what you have seen all these years. If you believe, or expect it or even If you don’t just declare the words of the prophet Haggai with me:
- The spirit of the lord is breathing courage into me daily.
- God is strengthening me to continue to build my life according to His will for me.
- I am not afraid because His spirit stands firm and immovable with me.
- The Lord of hosts has declared that, once more, in a little while, He is going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
- God will shake all the nations for my sake.
- All the nations will come with desirable and precious things to fill my life with the glory and splendor of God.
- My Father in heaven who owns all silver and the gold is flourishing my last days with them.
- My Abba Father has declared that the latter glory of my life and 2021 will be greater than the former.
- The Lord has declared that He will fill my life with the ultimate peace and prosperity in this season.
I declare that it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
